Ambient Raises $2 Million to Scale DePIN Globally
Ambient raises $2 million funding round marks a pivotal moment in its mission to scale DePIN globally.
Ambient, the world’s largest decentralized network of environmental sensors and ambient data, has announced the successful closure of an oversubscribed $2 million seed funding round. This round, led by Borderless Capital, with participation from Solana Ventures, Parami Investors, Sonic Boom Ventures, and Primal Capital, among others, signals a significant milestone in Ambient’s journey.
Meeting Environmental Challenges with Data-driven Solutions
Accurate data plays a crucial role in addressing the challenges of climate change and air pollution, the leading environmental cause of illness and premature death. While the demand for detailed environmental monitoring is projected to reach $40 billion by 2030, there is a significant scarcity of real-time and localized data available worldwide. Utilizing the DePIN model, Ambient has emerged as the fastest-growing, decentralized network of climate and ambient sensors across more than 20 countries, providing real-time data feeds every 5 minutes.
“Ambient is positioned to become an indispensable resource as global citizens increasingly seek to understand their environmental conditions and organizations require more accurate data for strategic decisions,” noted Luca Franchi, Ambient’s co-founder and CEO. With support from industry leaders, Ambient aims to drive environmental sustainability and positive impact on a global scale.
Strategic Expansion and Diverse Applications of Ambient’s Data
Ambient plans to expand its reach and establish strategic partnerships, enhancing its business model and extending its market footprint. With over 25,000 sensors deployed across more than 20 countries, and generating upwards of 10.7 billion data streams, Ambient’s data serves multiple use cases, including monitoring air quality impacts, aiding sustainable development, improving insurance processes, managing health risks, and enhancing marketing decisions.
